Weather Alert, Expect Hard Freeze
Miracle Man
October 31, 2023
The weather alert started with a northwest breeze,
and said before morning we’d see a hard freeze.
But this won’t be the earliest freeze I’ve seen,
for it isn’t uncommon to predate Halloween.
The results of this, green leaves will be browned,
and I still had garden hoses laying aground.
Each year I’m slower doing winterizing chores,
Just the thought of winter drives me indoors.
I’ve put things on hold too numerous to mention,
a warm cozy fire always steals my attention.
The furnace must be checked before turning it on,
and all large windows heavy drapes to be drawn.
It’s hard to get motivated feeling chained to a walker,
I guess my main fear is I’m becoming a balker.
Early each morn I have thoughts about writing,
but most thoughts of late aren’t overly inviting.
And Jesus loves me!

When I am gone,
in winter's timeless hibernation,
what will you be doing
with this sanctifying place
in time's healing space
refueling mortal rememory?
When you peer here
in summer's eternal play
what could I begin feeling
in such sadly glad sanctifying
pre-winterizing grace
In spacious golden
compassioned imaginations,
thoughtfully rebuilt
green cooperative restorations
Softening fear of sacred matriarchal loss
and not enough attention
Anger's trauma scars
replaced with AnthroHope
we might, one day,
receive EarthMother's
health and safe wealth dope
honorable midsummer mention
Fair-weathered
and rich-soiled
divinely humane
transtheistic rooted
polyvagal neuro-systemic structure
rebooted
Bilaterally reset
to sacred indigenous Win/Win
summer/winter
anticipating souls.

Familiar storm - stampeding, impeding,
drawing in colder days, lighting up
monotone skies, winterizing holiday rise.
Thoughts of yesteryear - their existence
unclear, relegating nonsensical notions,
subjugating my mind - celebrating life.

Attractive boys came devouring every frozen gulp.
Heavenly ices jubilant kaleidoscopic light.
Marvelous opulence, picturesque reoccurring –
Sustenance tasted universally.
Vicariously winterizing xenophobic youth,
Zestfully –

How was your summer, said the cashier
At the checkout counter.
Then later that day the radio guys
Are talking that way…talk about
Winterizing the yard & the car,
Pick up the yard, rake some leaves,
Ain’t mowing, no more put it away.
Pick up the hoses and sprinklers till next year.
Our summer is fading
Leaves are changing.
Darker and darker every day gets…
A cover for winter slipping in through the night.
Cooler and colder, it gets,
Molting our days into winter.
The ‘S’ word is coming out
From the mouths of winter--haters and lovers.
Soon the changing of the tires…
All I know is that we better get some Snow…
I know this guy that will drive me crazy-
If no snow machine riding he will do.
